RE: Amendments to 2008 and 2010 CDBG Action Plans
Dear Quincy:
In 2009 the City of Bremerton awarded $133,193.70 in CDBG -R funds to the Boys & Girls Clubs of South
Puget Sound for construction of its new Bremerton Teen Center. In 2010 the City of Bremerton awarded
$100,000 in CDBG funds to Kitsap Community Resources for its Weatherization and Minor Home Repair
project.
Boys & Girls Club has delayed their project to conduct additional studies. The Club has now confirmed it will
change the project site. The site change requires an amendment to the City's 2008 CDBG Action Plan.
At this time it is unclear how the site change will impact the project's timeline. For this reason, the City is
reallocating the CDBG -R funds to the KCR Weatherization project, which is ready to use the funds now, in
exchange for KCR's CDBG award.
This letter serves to notify HUD of these amendments and to summarize the steps taken to fulfill the citizen
participation requirements as outlined in the City's 5 -year Consolidated Plan and annual Policy Plan. The
City amends its prior -year Action Plans as follows:
2008 CDBG /HOME Action Plan:
De -fund $133,193.70 of CDBG -R funding from Boys & Girls Teen Center Construction, and reallocate it to
Kitsap Community Resources for Weatherization and Minor Home Repair

2010 CDBG /HOME Action Plan:
